Hi, I’m Tom.
I have been working on the web for over 25 years, and have deep knowledge in web development, web security, SEO, and cloud infrastructure.
I’m the CTO at SearchPilot, an SEO A/B testing platform I conceived of and launched whilst running the R&D Team at Distilled. I lead the Product & Engineering team, helping to bring about a data driven approach to SEO.
In December 2017, I defended my PhD thesis on a niche aspect of Artificial Intelligence. If you’d like to read my thesis: Self-motivated Composition Of Strategic Action Policies.
Furthermore, I spend a lot of time doing web security research, hacking some of the world’s biggest companies. I believe I’m the only recipient of Google awarding a bug bounty for a blackhat SEO attack. You can see a video of me presenting some of my research on XSS sanitizer fuzzing here.
Find me on LinkedIn, Twitter / X, or BlueSky
